Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Begin indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix. Bottom-water to maintain consistent moisture.
- Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after the last frost when the soil is warm. Space plants 18-24 inches apart.

- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plant to prevent wet foliage.

Why Choose Calabrian Chili Peppers:

Harvesting Tips:
Harvest Calabrian chilies when they are deep red and firm to the touch. For a fresher taste, pick slightly earlier when they are still bright but fully formed. Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruit production.
